PLEASE READ PRIOR TO RIDING
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FULLY CHARGE BATTERIES BEFORE FIRST USE -
Batteries should be fully charged immediately when they are received and immediately after
each use for the recommended charge times (see below)
• Li-Po4 Lithium Batteries: 4-6 hours
FACTORS TO MAXIMIZE THE RANGE OF YOUR ELECTRIC BICYCLE
 RIDER INPUT - the more the rider pedals the further the distance traveled. Continuous riding, as opposed to frequent stopping and starting, will yield the
greatest range possible
 ELEVATION GAIN - the flatter the road the further the distance traveled

WEATHER - cold weather can adversely affect the battery capacity
 TERRAIN - the smoother the terrain (roadways vs. fireroads, etc.) the further the distance traveled
 RIDER WEIGHT - the lighter the rider, resulting in less drain on the batteries, the further distance traveled
 RIDER BICYCLE MAINTENANCE - a properly maintained bicycle will yield the greatest range possible
 RIDER TIRE PRESSURE - properly inflated tires have less rolling resistance and will be easier to pedal

BATTERIES
- properly charged and maintained batteries will yield the greatest range possible. Batteries stored in cold areas (below 50 degrees Fahrenheit / 10
degrees Celsius) will show reduced range. Batteries that have not been kept in optimum condition will show reduced range and run time.
